I Would Have Linked to Your Site, But..



Dear (Webmaster),


Not being able to right click means it's a hassle to add your site to favorites, or to a Web Blog whose Webmaster uses the Blogger right-click functionality to add sites to those mentioned. Scripts can be modified to disable just the Save graphic as functionality, and images can be watermarked (although personally, if someone wants to use one of my graphics, I won't lose sleep over it or spend a lot of time on it that I could be using to develop new stuff!)

Although I understand that many don't share my open source attitude on this, I feel it's only important to spend resources on things like this if your content is highly proprietary and original.

Quite frankly, if a merchant is selling the same item as everyone else on eBay, there are much bigger problems for the business plan than a re-used graphic, especially if it's one that a wholesale supplier provided to the channel to begin with. Big companies can actually subscribe to and use a common graphics pool for Web images so that they are all the same. Helps the buyer compare apples to apples, but requires the seller to differentiate him or herself.

Just a thought.
